It's time. Arthur played a couple of plays the other day, and he's going to be playing much more significantly this week. He's been in our program a long time. He's a very bright kid, he's an intense kid, he's a great team player, and now is his chance to go out and play some football. |
Joe certainly has experience that Cam doesn't have, so he has a head start in that regard. |
Kevin has done an outstanding job in improving our football field, ... Our field is among the best in the ACC. |

Mark has a great reputation for developing players and forming relationships with players. He has good character, and other coaches that I have spoken with have nothing but high praise for Mark. His familiarity with Frank and the offense here will help with the transition, and we can be better faster because of his knowledge. |
Nobody's taking him out, so I don't expect to take him out, either. You hope to slow him down. People will devise different ways to try to slow him down, either by getting up and pressing him, bumping him or double-teaming him or this, that and the other. |
Not sure what good that would do. |
Obviously when you get into the season, the fans are taking it one game at a time, too. But all of a sudden, here it is. Here it is. |
Offensively when we had a chance to go out there after it was 14-14 at the half, I thought we would start moving the ball, but they snuffed us. They just stuffed us and stuffed us, and we couldn't convert anything. |
One of the things we wanted to do (against Tech) was use the clock when we got over the ball so we could determine which one of the defenses had been employed against us, ... We did not get to the ball quick enough, and that's something we've got to do better next week. |
Other than Dick Vermeil and my family, no one has been a bigger influence on my life than Bill Dooley. I am hopeful that his toughness and the love pouring in from all those he touched will pull him through. I was with him on Monday when this first occurred, and I have stayed in touch with the family throughout the week. Coach Dooley has done so much for college football, and I ask everyone to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. |
Our players know this dismantled us in the second half, ... I think they also knew we had a chance in the first half. |
That could have been a momentum-changing play. Those are the things you need to beat a good team like Miami. |
That game was fierce, ... The most noteworthy thing in my book was how incredibly hard Georgia Tech played in every aspect of the game. We've got to take care of our business and try to play a little bit like the way they played: force the issue, make some plays and don't turn the ball over. |
That is the time of day that we like to play. |
